OFFICE staff at a Nuneaton company were surprised when television personality Gethin Jones made an impromptu visit.

As the face of Holland & Barrett’s national advertising campaigns for the past two years, he called in at the company’s headquarters on the Eliot Park estate.

As well as meeting employees and posing for photographs, the former Blue Peter and current ITV Daybreak presenter sat in on meetings and helped answer phone calls and “tweets” from customers.

Gethin said: “I do get to pop into various stores during my travels around the UK, but I always learn something new about nutrition when I visit the guys in Nuneaton. They’re certainly top of their game when it comes to health.”

Holland & Barrett group director of marketing Phil Geary said: “It was great to bring Gethin along for the day and I know everyone enjoyed putting him through his paces.

“It’s really important for us that employees are able to contribute ideas and help us in the way we do business, and events like this help bring us together as a team.”
